'24 MD S Edrees Farooq (Tennessee)

That’s pretty good hands for a safety

Explains why he’s at the UA AA game as a 3*.

One of the best offer lists of any of our signees and it was always that way.

I had to go back after seeing this to see how many complained about taking him. Wasn’t too many!

From Rivals:

It wasn’t a banner week for safety projections in Orlando, but the Tennessee signee stood out. Farooq did a great job showing off his explosiveness, bounciness and aggressive playing style. He got his hands on the football against this elite wide receiver group, often in phase throughout the route-running process to have a chance to win at the catch point.

Farooq had even more success when challenging pass catchers at the line of scrimmage, a role where he will be even more likely to occupy as a safety or nickel type of projection in college.

Sounds like the recruiting services missed on this guy

This kid may factor into the 2-deep as a freshman.

this dude is used to going up against elite competition, st france’s plays one of the hardest schedules in high school football. might be a good steal in the future for us in the back end.

This of course comes right after they dropped him from a 4* to a 3* in the last rankings update

Bumped back up to a 5.8 4* outside the R250 on Rivals....not sure why he dropped in the first place but at least they corrected it
